Guys, really struggling to pull this together and would appreciate thoughts on how you begun to practice this. I’m thinking that I should just try to hit certain targets at each point and then just try to smooth out the transition to each target. Straight from the handbook shows 15 degrees at 45, 30 at 90, 15 at 135. Question is what should be my target pitch? I’m thinking 10 degrees up and 7 down. Any thoughts here? This is driving me mental...........

I found the biggest help for me was to explicitly look out the window at the next point on the 45, 90, 135, and 180.
You can then easily judge how it is going halfway to each and know how to adjust.
That said it is necessary to move back and forth between outside and inside and do these checks.
Check altitude gain at the 45 point and then make adjustment for the pitch down that will be needed.
First get the habit of looking at the points and how it feels. Then start adjusting for the numbers.
